About The Opportunity
OKX is building out its equities and tokenized securities business. This is a post-trade and brokerage systems product role — you will own the layer that sits between our users and the securities markets: order management, execution, settlement, asset servicing and reconciliation.
We have strong crypto product and engineering talent. What this role brings is depth in brokerage architecture and securities market structure: how these systems are built, why they are built that way, and what breaks at scale. You will be the internal authority on that, and your judgment will shape decisions that are expensive to reverse.
What You’ll Be Doing
Own the brokerage core
— order management, execution and routing, instrument lifecycle and trading status, settlement and reconciliation.
Shape account, custody and clearing architecture
, along with the operating model required to run it.
Own corporate actions and asset servicing end to end
, in both conventional and on-chain form.
Define how securities risk and margin frameworks coexist
with those of a 24/7 digital asset market.
Bring market structure, execution quality and regulatory requirements into product decisions early
, before they become blockers.
Set the standard for rigour
— write PRDs precise enough to build from, and lead alignment across engineering, risk, legal, compliance and treasury.
What We Look For In You
Domain Depth
5+ years in post-trade or brokerage systems product management.
We strongly prefer candidates from internet and licensed brokerages — Futu, Tiger, Interactive Brokers, Robinhood, Webull, Longbridge — as well as clearing firms and brokerage infrastructure providers.
Architectural perspective.
You have a clear view of where responsibility belongs across the order, execution, clearing, settlement, asset servicing and ledger layers, and of what goes wrong downstream when a boundary is drawn in the wrong place.
Depth across the order and execution path.
Order types and parameters, state machine design, idempotency across an external execution boundary, cancel/replace and partial-fill semantics, timeout and exception recovery. This is the core craft of the role.
End-to-end ownership of at least one area beyond the order path
— clearing and settlement, corporate actions and asset servicing, margin and risk, securities lending, or position and cash reconciliation.
Commercial and historical perspective.
You understand how a brokerage actually earns, how each revenue line constrains the systems beneath it, and why the industry made the structural choices it did.
Ways of Working
Strong technical intuition.
You are comfortable discussing system architecture and data flows with engineers. You do not need to be a developer, but you think with the rigour of one.
You design for the exceptions
— the halted symbol, the timed-out counterparty, the partial fill, the corporate action mid-flight — not just the order that goes through.
You run programs, not just write specs.
You produce rigorous PRDs independently, drive alignment across engineering, risk, legal, compliance and treasury, and own the full lifecycle from requirements through post-launch review.
You write precisely
, and can make complex mechanics legible to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
High agency.
You are comfortable taking an open question all the way to a shipped, reconciled system, and making calls with incomplete information.
Proficiency in Mandarin is required
to communicate effectively with internal engineering and product stakeholders in the China-based R&D center.
Nice-To-Haves
Product experience with margin financing or securities lending.
Exposure to tokenized securities, digital asset custody, or on-chain settlement.
Experience integrating with broker-dealer or clearing APIs, as either the integrator or the provider.
Hands-on experience with multi-jurisdiction regulatory frameworks — SEC/FINRA, MiFID II, or equivalent.
A track record of launching a brokerage product in a new market from zero.
Fluency in English to support communication with global product and business stakeholders.
Genuine curiosity about what happens when securities markets meet 24/7 markets.
Perks & Benefits
Competitive total compensation package
L&D programs and education subsidy for employees' growth and development
Various team building programs and company events
Wellness and meal allowances
Comprehensive healthcare schemes for employees and dependants

- Lead cross-functional projects with analysts, engineers, and compliance teams to build and maintain high-quality data pipelines and sources
- Coordinate client data quality monitoring by identifying issues, flagging remediations, and partnering with responsible teams to ensure timely resolution
- Support ad-hoc data requests for audits, exams, risk assessments, and day-to-day business needs
- Deliver insights that shape compliance direction through clear, data-driven storytelling
WHAT YOU BRING
- 5+ years of experience in data analysis and data management within financial services or a regulated industry, with hands-on experience in compliance and regulatory reporting across frameworks such as AML, KYC, Sanctions, MiCA, or MiFID
- Solid understanding of regulatory risk and the ability to operate effectively in high-scrutiny, audit-ready environments
- Expert SQL skills including complex joins, CTEs, and analytical functions, paired with proficiency in Python libraries such as pandas, matplotlib, and plotly
- Hands-on experience using dbt or similar tooling to model and organize high fidelity data for reporting and decision-making
- Experience setting up and managing data pipelines with a strong understanding of data workflow orchestration
- Proficiency with BI and data visualization tools such as QuickSight, Power BI, or Superset to build executive-facing dashboards
- Strong communicator who can simplify complex data ideas for both technical and non-technical audiences

Who We Are:
Alpaca is a US-headquartered, global leader in agent-first brokerage infrastructure
for stocks, ETFs, options, crypto, fixed income, 24/5 trading, and more.
Amongst our subsidiaries, Alpaca is a licensed financial services company, serving hundreds of financial institutions across 40 countries with our institutional-grade APIs. This includes broker-dealers, investment advisors, wealth managers, hedge funds, and crypto exchanges, totalling over 10 million brokerage accounts.
Our global team is a diverse group of experienced engineers, traders, and brokerage professionals who are working to achieve our mission of opening financial services to everyone on the planet. We're deeply committed to open-source contributions and fostering a vibrant community, continuously enhancing our award-winning, developer-friendly API and the robust infrastructure behind it.
Alpaca is proudly backed by $400 million in funding from top-tier global investors including Portage Ventures, Spark Capital, Tribe Capital, Social Leverage, Horizons Ventures, Opera Tech Ventures, SBI Group, Derayah Financial, Unbound, Peak XV, Elefund, and Y Combinator.
Our Team Members:
We're a dynamic team of 400+ globally distributed members who thrive working from our favorite places around the world, with teammates spanning the USA, Canada, Japan, Hungary, Nigeria, Brazil, the UK, and beyond!
We're searching for passionate individuals eager to contribute to Alpaca's rapid growth. If you align with our core values—Stay Curious, Have Empathy, and Be Accountable—and are ready to make a significant impact, we encourage you to apply.
Your Role:
Alpaca is building the infrastructure layer that partners across Europe use to launch and scale brokerage products. We're expanding our EU footprint - with growing market access, a regional roadmap, and ambitions across equities, ETFs, derivatives, direct connectivity, securities lending, tax reporting, and tax-wrapper products. We're hiring a Product Manager to own that expansion end-to-end: define the strategy, ship the products, and work with regulators, partners, and internal teams to make Alpaca the brokerage platform of choice across the EU.
We're seeking a Product Manager to define and drive new product initiatives and manage a portfolio of existing products across EU markets. With a deep understanding of the regional regulatory landscape, including MiFID II / MiFIR, ESMA, CSDR, national competent-authority frameworks, and member-state tax and tax-wrapper regimes, you will shape the product strategy that enables Alpaca to scale its brokerage infrastructure across the EU.
This role is equal parts strategy and delivery. You'll decide what we build versus buy, how we sequence the region’s roadmap, and which partnerships and connectivity paths get us there - and then ship the brokerage features, tax-wrapper functionality, integrations, and operational workflows that partners and institutional clients depend on every day.
What You'll Walk Into
You won't be starting from zero. You'll be owning live problems:
EU market access: scaling from initial access to full product coverage while meeting MiFID II / MiFIR, ESMA, and local NCA requirements.
The rest of the EU roadmap: prioritizing and delivering the next wave of brokerage capabilities across equities, ETFs, and regional market needs.
EU direct connectivity: building and owning connectivity to EU venues and market infrastructure, reducing reliance on intermediary paths.
EU broker partnerships: evaluating, onboarding, and integrating local brokers to expand coverage and resilience.
Cross-border complexity: passporting, multi-jurisdiction onboarding, and coordinating between Alpaca's global platform and EU market infrastructure.
Tax and tax wrappers: building tax-wrapper account functionality (e.g. PEA / PEA-PME, ISK, PIR) and the tax surface underneath it - tax lots / cost basis, dividend withholding, WHT reclaim, and country-specific tax reporting - so partners can offer jurisdiction-specific wrappers on Alpaca, not just a generic brokerage account.
Things You Get To Do
Own brokerage products tailored for EU markets, including equities, ETFs, tax-wrapper accounts, and related regional offerings.
Own the EU tax and tax-wrapper product surface end-to-end: wrapper eligibility and contribution rules, tax-lot / cost-basis tracking, withholding and reclaim, and the local reporting files partners and end-users need to stay compliant.
Drive brokerage product strategy by analyzing ROI, regional market competition, regulatory requirements, and build-vs-buy scenarios.
Build and execute the product roadmap with a focus on MiFID II / MiFIR-compliant features and regional market needs.
Write product requirements and work with engineers to execute programs that meet local regulatory and market standards.
Improve brokerage operation efficiency by providing solutions and owning the metrics, with a focus on regional settlement, custody, and clearing workflows.
Lead customer calls around brokerage process and product issues to gain insights and translate them into product improvements for EU clients.
Report timely and accurately on product status and results to internal and external stakeholders, including regional partners and institutional clients.
Collaborate with local operations teams to ensure seamless integration between Alpaca's global platform and EU market infrastructure.
Who You Are (Must-Haves)
Excited about what Alpaca is building and passionate about expanding financial infrastructure across the EU.
Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, finance, or equivalent.
5+ years of experience in Product Management, Engineering, Consulting, and/or starting a startup, preferably within financial services or fintech.
Demonstrated interest and experience in brokerage, capital markets, or fintech within the EU.
Strong understanding of MiFID II / MiFIR, ESMA, the EU capital markets landscape, and how member-state tax and tax-wrapper rules shape product design.
Strong communication skills in English, both written and verbal, with excellent collaboration abilities.
Business acumen to understand tradeoffs between stakeholders and technology feasibility with time and budget constraints.
Who You Might Be (Nice-to-Haves)
Experience and background working on and developing brokerage products in EU markets.
Technical background working with APIs, particularly in financial services or trading platforms.
Familiarity with CSDR, EMIR, T2S, or CSD connectivity.
Hands-on experience shipping tax-wrapper or tax-reporting products (e.g. PEA / PEA-PME, ISK, PIR), including tax lots, withholding, and local reporting files.
Experience working with cross-border / passporting investment products.
Additional EU language(s) beyond English.
Experience working at a fintech, startup, or EU-authorized investment firm.
How We Take Care of You:
Competitive Salary & Stock Options
Health Benefits
New Hire Home-Office Setup: One-time USD $500
Monthly Stipend: USD $150 per month via a Brex Card

The function reviews in the order of seventeen pieces of marketing and promotional material each week and handles around five new complaints each week, both scaling with a client base that is growing towards 100,000 users, alongside recurring regulatory reporting, token-listing and licence-extension assessments and compliance monitoring testing. You will be the person who keeps that machinery running accurately and on time.
You will gain broad exposure to MFSA supervision and EU financial services regulation, and direct visibility of how a MiFID II derivatives business is controlled in practice.
The position reports to the Deputy Head of Compliance, with a secondary reporting line to the Head of Compliance and MLRO, OKX Europe Markets Limited.
What You'll Be Doing
You will:
Review client-facing marketing material and financial promotions for compliance with MiFID II fair, clear and not misleading standards and the MFSA advertisement rules, across paid and organic social, email, landing pages, banners, push notifications, video and KOL briefs, and prepare them for approval by the Deputy Head of Compliance or the Head of Compliance.
Maintain the advertisement and marketing approval register, tracking each item from submission through amendment to approval, and supporting notifications to the MFSA where required.
Administer the end-to-end complaints process: logging and triage, investigation, preparation of customer responses within regulatory deadlines, remediation follow-up and escalation of significant or recurring issues to the Deputy Head of Compliance.
Produce complaints management information, root-cause and trend analysis to support the function's reporting to senior management, the Risk, Compliance and Audit Committee and the Board.
Support trade and transaction reporting obligations, including data collection and validation, regulatory return preparation, review and sign-off coordination, submission and evidence retention.
Conduct scheduled and ad-hoc testing under the Compliance Monitoring Programme, document findings, track remediation actions to closure and maintain the monitoring calendar.
Prepare token-listing and licence-extension assessments and supporting documentation for review, and support new product and feature compliance reviews and local launch sign-off.
Maintain the firm's core regulatory registers — regulatory correspondence, breaches, advertisements and the regulatory obligation register — ensuring an accurate, audit-ready flow of information to the MFSA and internal stakeholders.
Draft and update compliance policies, procedures and entity-specific addenda for review and approval, in line with regulatory developments.
Support regulatory-change horizon scanning, recording applicable changes against the obligation register and flagging implementation requirements.
Handle first-line queries on compliance and AML/CFT matters, escalating appropriately, and support responses to legal, regulatory and law-enforcement requests.
Support the retained AML/CFT work of the entity, including quality assurance sampling, high-risk onboarding and client-classification approvals, and internal and external audit support.
Support the preparation of compliance reports and Board and committee materials, and other materials required by internal stakeholders.
Work closely with teams such as Data, Engineering, Finance, Legal, Marketing, Product and Risk to embed an effective compliance framework aligned with MFSA and EU standards.
What We Look For in You
Prior experience in a compliance, legal, regulatory or regulatory-operations role within financial services, investment firms, fintech or the crypto-asset sector.
Sound understanding of the MFSA regulatory framework, MiFID II conduct-of-business requirements and EU financial services regulation.
Demonstrable ability to handle a high, recurring caseload to deadline without loss of quality, and to prioritise between competing regulatory deadlines.
High attention to detail, with the ability to maintain accurate, complete and audit-ready records and registers.
Strong analytical ability, with the capacity to assess regulatory obligations against material or a process, identify gaps and produce well-reasoned written analysis.
Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to convey compliance requirements to non-specialist colleagues and to draft customer-facing responses.
Strong organisational skills, able to manage multiple concurrent workstreams and meet regulatory deadlines.
Comfortable operating with limited supervision, exercising judgement within a defined framework and escalating appropriately.
A bachelor's degree in law, finance, business administration or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
Professional fluency in English.

Location: EMEA
Reports to:
Regional Head of Compliance, EMEA (with matrix reporting to the OEM Board and Global Compliance)
Regulator:
Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA)
About the Team
The compliance function at OKX is responsible for the overall compliance culture at the company. We are a team of risk-minded problem solvers who advise the business on the company's AML and regulatory obligations and enterprise risks.
OKX Europe Markets Limited is our MFSA-authorised investment services entity. Its licence covers the operation of a multilateral trading facility alongside our MiFID derivatives business. Operating a trading venue puts a distinct set of obligations on the firm: venue rulebook governance, member admission, market surveillance, transparency and reporting, systems resilience and orderly trading controls. This role owns compliance for that venue.
What You Will Be Doing
As Head of Compliance for the MTF, you will hold the MiFID compliance function for the trading venue and act as the MFSA-approved person for that role. The MLRO function sits separately; you will work alongside the OEM MLRO on financial crime matters that touch venue activity.
You will:
Own the MTF compliance framework end to end: policies, procedures, controls, registers and the compliance monitoring programme covering MiFID II, MiFIR, MAR and the MFSA Investment Services Rules applicable to MTF operators.
Act as the primary compliance point of contact for the MFSA on venue matters: authorisation variations, notifications, thematic reviews, RFIs, inspections and remediation.
Own the venue rulebook. Keep it current, ensure it is enforceable, and run the governance process for changes.
Oversee member and participant admission: eligibility criteria, non-discriminatory access, direct electronic access arrangements, sponsored access controls, and ongoing monitoring of members' compliance with the rules of the venue.
Oversee admission to trading of financial instruments, including the compliance assessment of new instruments, product classes and tokenised or DLT-based instruments where relevant.
Provide compliance oversight of orderly trading requirements: systems capacity and resilience, testing of members' algorithms, circuit breakers, order-to-trade ratios, tick sizes, market making schemes and clock synchronisation.
Provide compliance oversight of pre- and post-trade transparency, waivers and deferrals, transaction reporting, reference data and the accuracy and completeness controls behind them.
Advise the business on the interaction between the MTF and OKX's wider European footprint: the MiFID derivatives business, MiCA-authorised activity in OKX Europe Ltd, and the DLT Pilot Regime where a DLT MTF is in scope.
Deliver the annual compliance risk assessment, the compliance monitoring plan and the compliance report to senior management and the Board.
Build, lead and develop the MTF compliance team, and set the compliance training curriculum for venue-facing staff, trading operations and technology.
Give day-to-day advice to product, engineering, trading operations, legal and market operations in a fast-moving regulatory environment, including sign-off on venue changes, launches and marketing where required.
Oversee compliance aspects of outsourcing, critical third parties and operational resilience, including DORA obligations relevant to the venue.
Prepare Board, committee and matrix stakeholder reporting, and represent OKX with the MFSA, ESMA consultations, industry bodies and peer venue forums.
What We Look For in You
10 years plus in regulatory compliance within financial services, market infrastructure, fintech or crypto, including time at a senior or head-of-function level.
Direct experience of trading venue compliance: MTF, OTF, regulated market, SI or an equivalent execution venue. This is the core requirement.
Working knowledge of MiFID II and MiFIR as they apply to venue operators: Articles 18–20 and 31 (MTF operating requirements and rule monitoring), Articles 48–50 (orderly trading), MiFIR transparency and transaction reporting, and the associated RTS.
Practical experience of market abuse surveillance and MAR obligations for a venue operator, including STOR decision-making.
Experience developing and owning a compliance framework that has stood up to regulatory examination, and a track record of engaging supervisors directly.
Experience preparing and defending compliance reporting to a board or regulator.
Familiarity with MFSA Investment Services Rules and Malta's regulatory environment, or a demonstrable ability to get there quickly from another EEA jurisdiction.
Strong project management skills and the ability to run several regulatory workstreams to deadline.
Comfortable working independently and in a dispersed, cross-border team across multiple varied tasks.
Highly ethical, intuitive, and willing to question and challenge at every level of the business.
Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain venue regulation to engineers and commercial teams.
Eligible for MFSA approval as the holder of the compliance function.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to Haves
Prior experience in the crypto industry, particularly tokenised instruments, crypto derivatives or a MiCA-authorised trading platform.
Experience with the DLT Pilot Regime or another distributed ledger market infrastructure.
Experience of a trading venue authorisation or a licence variation to add MTF operation.
Familiarity with surveillance platforms (Nasdaq Trade Surveillance, Eventus, Scila, Steeleye or similar) and with transaction reporting tooling.
International Compliance Association, ACAMS, CISI or equivalent compliance certification.
Perks &

You will be responsible for establishing strategic audit direction, building and managing the EU audit team, and providing independent assurance to the Board on the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal controls.

The position reports directly to the Board of Directors of Bybit EU with a dotted reporting line to the Global Head of Internal Audit at Bybit Group, ensuring alignment with group-wide standards while maintaining statutory independence.

Serve as the primary audit representative to the Board / Audit Committee, providing independent assurance opinions and strategic counsel on emerging risks.
Maintain the local Internal Audit Charter, policies, and quality assurance framework in accordance with IIA Standards and local regulatory expectations.

Align with the Global Internal Audit function on group-wide methodologies, tooling, and combined assurance approaches while adapting to EU-specific requirements.
Lead the transition from outsourced/co-sourced audit arrangements to a scalable in-house capability. During the transition period, coordinate closely with co-sourcing partners — overseeing the quality of their deliverables (both breadth and depth of coverage), managing the relationship, and controlling the audit budget.
Conduct and supervise detailed audit work — walkthroughs, control testing, data analytics, root cause analysis — ensuring audit depth and quality.
Prepare and present audit reports with clear findings, risk ratings, root causes, and actionable remediation plans to the Board, senior management, and regulators.
Regulatory & Stakeholder Engagement
Serve as the primary point of contact for regulatory audit inquiries (FMA, ECB/SSM where applicable) and coordinate regulatory examination support.
Monitor and anticipate evolving EU regulatory developments (MiCA, MiFID II, DORA, AMLD6, EMD2, GDPR, NIS2) — proactively adjusting audit coverage and methodology.
Build and maintain strong relationships with external auditors, regulators, and key internal stakeholders across Compliance, Risk, Legal, Finance, Operations, IT, and Product.
Work closely with 2nd line functions (Compliance, Risk) to deliver an integrated assurance model — ensuring all key regulatory obligations are closely monitored and audited, controls are consistently designed and operating effectively, and gaps are timely escalated with clear action plans to remediate.
Continuous Improvement
Drive automation and innovation in audit processes — leveraging data analytics, continuous auditing/monitoring, and AI-enabled techniques.
Promote a culture of integrity, accountability, and continuous improvement across the EU business.
Coordinate remediation tracking and follow-up, ensuring timely closure of audit findings and management actions.
Required Qualifications & Skills

Excellent written and spoken German and English — essential for regulatory engagement, Board reporting, and multi-jurisdictional coordination.
Board / Audit Committee reporting experience — comfortable presenting independently to non-executive directors and regulators.
Genuinely hands-on — this is not a "sit at the top" role. Must be deeply involved in the details of individual audit projects, understand the substance of findings, and personally drive quality on key engagements.
Outstanding stakeholder management — experience operating effectively in a global matrix structure with cross-regional collaboration.
Strong project and resource management skills — managing multiple concurrent audits, budgets, and external service providers.
